    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    So you guys are already looking at Chalice of the Void and Blood Moon and changing up the core cards. Has anyone here considered Goblin Stompy? It must have amazing matchups against those multicolor...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    When you need an answer immediately, yes drawing a Matron or Ringleader instead is too slow, but so is any other non-answer card. Unless you cut Matron/Ringleader for more answers, you're not...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    When that happens, aren't those games we're steamrolling? I don't think I've ever regretted Ringleadering into more card advantage. My opponents groan. What matches is that sequence losing for you?...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    Good point. I was thinking of the Esper lists that plan B into Mentor or Tombstalker (Bob is bad with Tombstalker), but some Grixis lists run Bob or Pyro. There are many plan Bs to play around. What...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    What would you cut for the first 5? Sharpshooter, Stronghold, and 3 Ringleaders?

    What's your grave hate?. This is controversial... but I'd play Therapy before Surgical/Faerie Macabre if there...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    I'm convinced. I'll make the switch.

    I noticed you struggled against Phoenix in your stream (or at least how to play against them). Here are some strategy ideas that worked for me.

    They run up...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    Great primer! Watched some of your video too.

    You've convinced me to add Stronghold.

    Might have to add Sharpshooter back after seeing your Skirk-Sharpshooter slaughterfest combo. I miss...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    Nice results. I like Chalice and Moon in the board. Might have to test that.

    Must help when 3/5 matches are against Delver and Storm doesn't make top 4.

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    In hindsight I agree.

    At the time I figured if I chumped and didn't topdeck an answer I would lose even worse. I wanted to gamble he just had a weak hand and optimize my chance of winning in that...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    I played Goblins this weekend only to see no blue decks and 3 combo decks. Awkward.

    0-2 vs SneakShow
    2-0 vs Goblins
    1-2 vs 8Moon
    2-1 vs Buried Phoenix
    2-1 vs BR Reanimator

    No one was...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    I hereby dub your list "Caverns, Lackey? No!"

    Neat concept if Chalice and Blood Moon are that strong in the meta against all the blue-based decks.

    Why no Siege-Gang or Kiki? Krenko's good, but...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    I think the point, which I partially agree with, was that Piledriver is bad post-board in the opening hand.

    IMHO (and overgeneralizing here) keepable hands can be classified as follows:
    1) Turn...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    Great match stream and match review! Well worth the 3 hours spent watching it.



    What would you name? Shardless? That would only still be in his hand if he Brainstormed into 2 better cards.

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    Tarfire on its own can't. With Relic it works, sure. But you have to blow a Relic and a Tarfire just to kill Goyf. If you have a Relic in play, often you can just attack with everything and ignore...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    I agree with your overall point for most 2 drops, but just wanted to point out it is literally impossible for Tarfire to kill Goyf, even with empty graveyards.

    When creatures take direct damage,...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    The biggest reason I like Tarfire is clearing the way for Lackey on turn 2. Gempalm for 1 doesn't cut it. MWM, pass the turn, Gempalm on turn 3 is awkward. Cratermaker doesn't fill that role either,...

    Cratermaker looks amazing. Everything Ember Hauler needed to be. Same body and shock. Easier mana cost. Costs less with Warchief. Kills Eldrazis, Ensnaring Bridge, and other nasty stuff. I wonder if...

    Old Goblins player looking to get back into it. Trashmaster (plus the lack of Squires) makes me excited to play the little green men. The last time I played, every deck had Deathrite, Stoneforge,...
